The viewing glass is approximately 5 1\/2 inches (14 cm) across and is 3 inches (7 1\/2 cm) vertical. There is a slot (approximately 5 1\/4 inches long) on top of the viewer that a slide could go into, but it\u2019s narrower than a classic Victorian stereo view.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;An internet search of the Stereo-Phot Company gave no results.
